Thanks to Kyla for having us over to do a guest post. My name is Nicola and you can find me over at Crafty Kids at Home. I have three kids aged 3, 5 and 7 and we love to sit down and do arts and crafts activities together and my blog charts our ideas…

Kids will have fun making this beautiful aquarium for their goldfish – or maybe a bigger fish! Materials include blue paper, modelling clay, thread, plastic berry box, seashells or colored rocks, tape, glue stick and a little sand from the sandbox. There are so many wonderful choices available in craft or sewing stores, or even…

The rain has been pouring, the heating has been turned on and my mind has ambled slowly but purposefully towards Christmas and all of the fun festive activities we can start to enjoy! I decided to kick start our festive activities with a good old contact…

I love to find ways for Buddy to experience arts and crafts, especially when I can find a way to prevent the materials from going into his mouth. Some toddlers grow out of mouthing and tasting everything at around a year old (or even earlier) however Buddy does not seem destined to become one of…

It is always a fun personal challenge to find ways for Buddy to get involved with lots of the activities we see online shared by other bloggers due to Buddy’s incessant need to taste everything we play with. (He is getting a little better now he is getting older.) There have been some amazing Autumn…
